Windows 10 comes with lots of built-in apps that may be useful to users. Though these apps are developed by Microsoft after hard testings, but they may fail to work properly if they don’t get the favorable environment. In either cases, some users may found that apps are not responding for long time. For non-responsive desktop apps, we all follow the strategy to kill those apps using Task Manager.
With Windows 10 V1803, Microsoft has realized that built-in apps need a ‘terminate’ option which will help the users to kill the apps easily. Thus the company has added the Terminate option in advanced settings for the apps. The option can be used on pre-installed apps to kill them and their relative process. This is handy, if you can’t open Task Manager due to anonymous reason and you need to kill an app urgently.
App termination currently seems to work with built-in apps only at the moment. In future, we may see its extension to third-party apps as well. Here are the steps you need to follow, in order to terminate an app:
